Senrai, one of the most famous hotels in Kyoto.

Xianlaiju is built by combining the three senses of sight, hearing and taste, what is the three senses of sight, hearing and taste?

Vision: that is, what we see with our eyes;

Xianlaiju is a three-storey antique square building built around a patio, and two magnificent beasts in front of the door are like tigers and cats, giving people a sense of majesty and docility;

Like a tiger: the town house to ward off evil spirits, this is the principle recognized by the world;

Cat-like: docile and lovable, but easy to attract evil;

This beast that wards off evil and attracts evil spirits makes many people wonder about it, but they can't help their curiosity and want to go in and find out.

Crossing the threshold that is not high or low, what catches your eye is a large patio, under the patio is a small stage, in front of the stage is a hall full of tables and chairs, and under the eaves on both sides are private rooms;

Bypassing the stage, there is a staircase with three openings at the back; up to the second floor, the left and right private rooms, but the front and back are the halls, and the window position can see the street market with people coming and going, which adds another scenery to the hotel; as for the third floor, I never entertain guests, and I have heard who has gone up, and I heard that only when the proprietress invites, otherwise, no one can go up.

What is incomprehensible is that there are always a few lazy cats here, quiet and docile.

Hearing: that is, using the ears to enjoy and receive sound;

In addition to some conventional stage operas and minor tunes, Xianlaiju also has a major feature of storytelling; you must think it is very strange, saying such a conventional thing as storytelling, sometimes even the streets and alleys can see a few down-and-out storytellers talking about storytelling, what kind of feature is this?

Xianlaiju's storytelling is different from what ordinary storytellers say! Xianlaiju bought exclusive news at a high price, and then the storyteller retouched it, and then entered the house under the storyteller's voice;

Although there are exaggerated ingredients in processing and decoration, they must require more than 80% of the information to be restored, which is very satisfying to the curiosity of diners;

Therefore, there is a saying in Kyoto: If you want to know three points of the wonders of the world, you must live in this life.

Taste: that is, delicious in the world;

Xianlaiju is to open a restaurant, of course, to satisfy people's stomach as the first priority, color, fragrance, taste is the basis of beautiful food;

Of course, to open a restaurant, you must have your own special signature dishes, and Xianlaiju only has one famous specialty dish in Kyoto, but it makes countless people in Kyoto think, what kind of dish will make people miss it like this?

Some people just said, if you want to eat and give money, as for such thoughts? The person who can say this, you don't have to guess, must be from outside.

What is this dish called?

No one knows, but everyone unanimously calls it 'hungry cat'.

Cats, everyone knows that they like rats and fish;

The cats of this fairy house have always been lazy and docile, and will never go to the guest table to grab food, even if it is a dish made of fresh fish, it will not attract them.

But before this dish came out, all the cats in Xianlaiju were required to be put in cages.

Because the cat smelled this smell began to be restless, once a cat died in the cage because of too restlessness, and since then, whenever the proprietress makes this dish, she will send the cat in the store to another place in advance.

Getting back to the point, back to the question of why it is said that 'the person who can say this, no need to guess, it must be a foreigner', it turns out that this 'hungry cat' is only done by the proprietress of Xianlaiju.

The strangest thing is that the proprietress also gives away dishes for free, but each time she makes it, there are only ten dishes, no more, no less. If ordinary people will definitely raise the price high, eager to do it every day, in order to make money every day, but this proprietress really has a character, if you want to eat the 'hungry cat', it also depends on the mood, depending on who it is; so if you want to eat this dish, someone must be able to invite the proprietress to cook for him; if you are not the person who can invite the proprietress to move, then you can only follow the dip, if you can know the lord and may eat a bite or two.

Shen Wenqiu said: "That's it! ”

The three of them followed into Xianlaiju, bypassed the stage and went up the stairs to the hall on the second floor, sat down in a window position, and asked for some wine and food to eat under the hospitality of Xiao Er.

Coincidentally, the three of them happened to be in time to talk about storytelling.

Xianlaiju said that the storytelling is twice a day, each time for an hour, once in the morning and once in the evening.

A middle-aged man dressed in a long robe and holding an origami fan walked in and sat down on the black table in the middle of the hall.

The case was too simple to be simple, there was only a piece of wood on it, and I saw that a little two brought him tea, and the gentleman moistened his throat.

A man at a dinner table not far away laughed and shouted, "Mr. Yang, what are you talking about today?"

The gentleman surnamed Yang smiled and said, "Big event, big event, just came out today, I'm sure you haven't heard of it yet." ”

Then he began to prepare to gather momentum, coughed twice, and said seriously: "There is a way that heroes have come out of teenagers since ancient times, and there is also a way that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and today we are going to talk about this hero, say that he is a young hero! Yes, say that he is a newborn calf!

The story takes place at the entrance of the Bunkaku Pavilion on the Shibo Street of the Scholar's House in Kyoto, everyone listen, don't get distracted;

I saw a young man coming out of Wenhua Pavilion, who is the young man?

Do you think we're the hero of our story? That's not what it is.

This person is a scholar who went to Beijing from other places to take the exam, named Gongsun Ming;

Eh, when you hear the scholar, do you think of the relationship between the young lady and the scholar?"

When everyone heard Mr. Yang say this, they felt that this old-fashioned episode was boring, and they all "booed", feeling that they didn't listen.

Unlike everyone else, Shen Wenqiu whispered to Gongsun Ming and quipped, "Brother Gongsun, when did you get into this romantic debt?"

Mr. Yang wanted to sell a pass and hang their appetite, but he didn't expect to mess up. I had no choice but to continue: "I want to come to this kid's blessing is thinner, the bridge between the scholar and the young lady has not met, I saw this Gongsun Ming holding a pen and paper, carefully holding the inkstone out of the Wenhua Pavilion, this front foot just came down from the steps, you might as well guess what happened." ”

Mr. Yang paused deliberately, and when everyone saw that Mr. Yang said that it was not the story of the scholar and the young lady, they were a little interested, and they all guessed; only after hearing the discussion of everyone in the audience did Mr. Yang take a sip of the teacup with satisfaction.

Everyone didn't guess a rough idea, so they said, "Mr. Yang, what happened, you should tell me and hear it!"

When Mr. Yang saw the anxious appearance of everyone, he felt that his appetite was almost hanging, and said: "Xu is that this scholar cherishes a little ink in this inkstone too much, and does not pay attention to the surrounding environment; and at this time, a young man came in front of him, and he did not pay attention to a general situation; the scholar looked up and saw the young man, and said that it was too late, that time was fast, eh, the scholar really avoided it; it's a pity!"

Seeing that Mr. Yang was worried, everyone asked, "It's all avoided, what is the pity?"

Mr. Yang waved his hand and said, "This young man didn't buy his account at all, but he stumbled into it." Mr. Yang waved his hand: This scholar is also very helpless!

Mr. Yang picked up the wood and knocked on the case, raised his voice and said, "Everyone, the main event is here." You'll have to guess who this young man is this time? ”

After saying this, Mr. Yang put away his fan, sat down, and drank tea by himself.

Everyone in the audience began to guess, and one of them seemed to say to himself: "Who will be the person we are all familiar with?"

The other person replied, "Could it be the son of Lord Liu's family?" ”

Another person interjected: "Although this Liu Gongzi is also a little scornful, it is not even good to say that everyone is familiar with it." ”

"Who could it be?" guessed everyone.

A slightly bolder whispered, "Could it be the one from the eldest princess's family?" ”

Another retorted, "There shouldn't be such an eye-opener, right?"

Seeing that everyone had guessed almost, Mr. Yang patted the case and said, "This young man is Su Qingshu." ”

"Su Qingshu?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, who is this Su Qingshu, why haven't they heard of it, and a person who came back to his senses first said in surprise: "Su Qingshu, I'll go, this Gongsun Ming is too blind-eyed! ”

Only then did everyone remember that the domineering little master was called 'Su Qingshu'. They all said: "I'm afraid this kid is finished." ”

Mr. Yang knocked on the bill again, pulled everyone's thoughts back, and said, "Everyone, don't worry! ”

When everyone saw Mr. Yang say this, they all closed their mouths, for fear of missing some wonderful details.

Seeing that everyone had closed their mouths, Mr. Yang said: "This Su Qingshu, we all know who he is, and we also know what he usually does; is it nothing more than that he likes to bully people? This scholar apologizes to him well and does not accept it, and he has to kneel down to apologize! What kind of thing does the scholar think? If he kneels, he will not lose all the face of the saint." What's more, the sage also taught us that scholars should 'not be rich and rich, not lewd, not to be poor, and not to be bent'. You can't even have the last backbone and dignity, right? But this matter must be explained before it can be over?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Mr. Yang continued: "Everyone, might as well guess who is the last to kneel?"

Everyone thought to themselves: "Mr. Yang, isn't this? It must be the scholar Gongsun Ming who knelt down, can it still be Su Qingshu?" and said, "Mr. Yang, you are confused, how can you ask this question that we all know?"

Seeing this, Mr. Yang waved his hand and said, "Everyone, don't worry, listen to me." ”

Everyone was silent, and Mr. Yang said: "Just when Gongsun Ming was helpless, a young man named Shen Wenqiu appeared in front of Gongsun Ming with an old man like a god, and the young man wanted to pull Gongsun Ming to leave when he asked what happened; Guess what's next?"

A dumb-headed guy may not have figured things out yet? He said, "You won't really kneel, right? This is a bit of a loss, just now I had to kneel alone, and now the three of us kneel together." One, three, think about it. As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, as if in this way he could sort out the relationship between the size of one and three.

There are really people who agree with this guy.

Of course, there are also a few guys with good memories, who said: "Didn't this Mr. Yang say this? Since ancient times, heroes have been born as teenagers, and newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, how can they kneel?"

The crowd listened to his analysis and felt that he made more sense.
